Get the pack: $7Counting money is hard for young children for a simple reason: the size of a coin does not tell you what it is worth. A dime is smaller than a penny and a nickel and is worth more than both. So the first job is learning to tell the coins apart, and the second is learning to count by tens, fives and ones in the same breath.
These worksheets use photographs of real coins, printed at their real size on most of the sheets. A child can lay a real penny on the picture and see that it matches. The coin chart gives the name, value, color, edge and face of each coin, and how many make a dollar.
The counting sheets go in the order most programs teach. Pennies and nickels come first, then dimes, then quarters. The coins in each problem are lined up from the most valuable to the least, because starting with the biggest value and counting on is the method that works. Each answer key prints the running count under every coin (25, 35, 40, 41), so a child can find the exact coin where the count went wrong.
Show the Amount turns the task around: the amount is given and the child picks the coins. The last two sheets move to dollars and cents and to making change, which is taught as counting up from the price to a dollar. For hands-on practice, print the play money and use it with these sheets. The skip counting worksheets build the counting by 5s and 10s that coins depend on.
